      Executive Page Dear EAN members, dear friends, It is my pleasure to give you an update on behalf of the EAN Scientific Committee following a busy year since my appointment as chair. It has been a privilege to be so deeply involved in the scientific activities of the EAN and to work closely with an amazing community of people who are so dedicated to the advancement of neurology. One of the strongest threads within that community is the EAN’s group of Scientific Panels, which are often referred to as the organisation’s ‘scientific backbone’. The panels have a hand in everything the EAN does from a scientific point of view, including coordinating clinical research, disseminating good practice, assisting in planning the EAN annual congress, supporting the EAN’s educational efforts, and producing guidelines that assist neurologists in daily practice. All of this work requires a considerable amount of oversight, and this is why each panel is run by its own Management Group, elected by the panel members. Being a part of one of these Management Groups (PDF) is an opportunity to play a direct part in determining the direction of scientific progress within Europe, and I am excited to say that the call for applications to stand for election will be announced in September. All panel members and EAN individual members are eligible to apply to be candidates, with the vote being held among the existing panel members in autumn. I would like to urge every neurologist with a passion for the scientific future of their special area of interest to consider standing for election to the relevant Management Group and to look out for the call for applications later this month. I can tell you from personal experience that fulfilling a role such as this within the structure of the EAN is a fascinating and extremely rewarding experience. The chance to take on such a unique leadership position should not be missed! The most satisfying aspect of being involved in the EAN’s organisational structure is surely seeing all the hard work and planning come to fruition when a small idea evolves into a newly launched project. One such example is the 1st EAN Science School, taking place in Salzburg next March. The idea of the Science School is to offer early career neurologists with an interest in translational research a new avenue for learning about basic pathomechanisms of neurological disorders. Application for this very first edition, on ‘Pathophysiology of disorders of the nervous system’, closed last week and we have been delighted with the level of interest. It was a pleasure to be part of the task force in charge of planning this new project and I look forward to seeing it officially transferred to the hands of the Scientific Committee after a successful event and evaluation in spring. Of our ongoing activities, one of the most significant is the EAN Neuro-covid Registry, which aims to collate epidemiological data on neurological manifestations in patients with COVID-19 infection reported by neurologists in outpatient services, emergency rooms, and hospital departments. We currently have 1,542 patients entered in the database, from 35 centres across 23 countries. So far, 29 patients have been followed for 12 months and 387 have completed the 6-months follow up. This is a decent start, but I would like to strongly encourage EAN members and their institutions to get involved and contribute cases to what will become an invaluable resource for neurologists and clinicians to improve care for Covid-19 patients. Finally, I would like share a word on a forthcoming collaboration between EAN and the Human Brain Project in December, that I think will interest a lot of EAN members. The EAN-EBRAINS joint workshop on ‘The future of medical data sharing in clinical neurosciences’ will be a three-day virtual event that aims to discuss issues and challenges associated with data sharing in Europe, from ethics to data safety and privacy, including those specific to data federation, such as the development and validation of federated algorithms. The whole workshop is completely free of charge and registration is open until 25 November, so please check out the details and sign up! I wish you all a healthy and pleasant autumn and I look forward to updating you again. Best wishes Thomas Berger Chair of the EAN Scientific Committee

      Executive Page Dear EAN members, dear friends, It is my pleasure to give you an update on behalf of the EAN Scientific Committee following a busy year since my appointment as chair. It has been a privilege to be so deeply involved in the scientific activities of the EAN and to work closely with an amazing community of people who are so dedicated to the advancement of neurology. One of the strongest threads within that community is the EAN’s group of Scientific Panels, which are often referred to as the organisation’s ‘scientific backbone’. The panels have a hand in everything the EAN does from a scientific point of view, including coordinating clinical research, disseminating good practice, assisting in planning the EAN annual congress, supporting the EAN’s educational efforts, and producing guidelines that assist neurologists in daily practice. All of this work requires a considerable amount of oversight, and this is why each panel is run by its own Management Group, elected by the panel members. Being a part of one of these Management Groups (PDF) is an opportunity to play a direct part in determining the direction of scientific progress within Europe, and I am excited to say that the call for applications to stand for election will be announced in September. All panel members and EAN individual members are eligible to apply to be candidates, with the vote being held among the existing panel members in autumn. I would like to urge every neurologist with a passion for the scientific future of their special area of interest to consider standing for election to the relevant Management Group and to look out for the call for applications later this month. I can tell you from personal experience that fulfilling a role such as this within the structure of the EAN is a fascinating and extremely rewarding experience. The chance to take on such a unique leadership position should not be missed! The most satisfying aspect of being involved in the EAN’s organisational structure is surely seeing all the hard work and planning come to fruition when a small idea evolves into a newly launched project. One such example is the 1st EAN Science School, taking place in Salzburg next March. The idea of the Science School is to offer early career neurologists with an interest in translational research a new avenue for learning about basic pathomechanisms of neurological disorders. Application for this very first edition, on ‘Pathophysiology of disorders of the nervous system’, closed last week and we have been delighted with the level of interest. It was a pleasure to be part of the task force in charge of planning this new project and I look forward to seeing it officially transferred to the hands of the Scientific Committee after a successful event and evaluation in spring. Of our ongoing activities, one of the most significant is the EAN Neuro-covid Registry, which aims to collate epidemiological data on neurological manifestations in patients with COVID-19 infection reported by neurologists in outpatient services, emergency rooms, and hospital departments. We currently have 1,542 patients entered in the database, from 35 centres across 23 countries. So far, 29 patients have been followed for 12 months and 387 have completed the 6-months follow up. This is a decent start, but I would like to strongly encourage EAN members and their institutions to get involved and contribute cases to what will become an invaluable resource for neurologists and clinicians to improve care for Covid-19 patients. Finally, I would like share a word on a forthcoming collaboration between EAN and the Human Brain Project in December, that I think will interest a lot of EAN members. The EAN-EBRAINS joint workshop on ‘The future of medical data sharing in clinical neurosciences’ will be a three-day virtual event that aims to discuss issues and challenges associated with data sharing in Europe, from ethics to data safety and privacy, including those specific to data federation, such as the development and validation of federated algorithms. The whole workshop is completely free of charge and registration is open until 25 November, so please check out the details and sign up! I wish you all a healthy and pleasant autumn and I look forward to updating you again. Best wishes Thomas Berger Chair of the EAN Scientific Committee

Forum: Historical moments… Creation of the European Journal of Neurology

May 1, 2014

A new era of neurology in Europe will start soon. In order to remember those historical moments that were relevant for EFNS and ENS and finally led to the foundation of EAN, the editors asked senior European neurologists to tell about their memories related to EFNS, ENS and foundation of EAN

by Jes Olesen

Creation of the European Journal of Neurology

During the first years of the EFNS I was privileged to have the trust of our first president Franz Gerstenbrand. I had been active in the formation of the EFNS, wrote its first constitution and had lots of ideas about the development of our organization. Franz accepted all my ideas on the condition that I did the necessary work to execute them.

One of the ideas was that the EFNS should have its own scientific journal. I had previously participated in starting a journal fully owned by the International Headache Society, Cephalalgia. It proved immensely important to the headache field and produced a nice profit to the organization. The pioneers of EFNS were fiercely European and did not like the fact that American journals dominated neurology. We saw it as our obligation to develop a journal that eventually could compete for the best European and international papers. This was clearly a long range goal and it would fail if we did not get the concept right from the beginning. The ENS had made an alliance with the Springer owned Journal of Neurology. They did not own stock and had only editorial influence. I was determined to do it differently. My analysis of the publishing business and my experience with Cephalalgia told me that ownership was both desirable and possible. I knew that, in the long perspective, only journals supported by a strong organization would thrive or maybe even survive.

My first model was joint ownership of an existing journal. But the EFNS had no money to buy stock. I felt that it was not necessary to pay. I first contacted European Neurology because of its very appropriate name. It was fully owned by Karger. I suggested that EFNS should take over 50% of the stock at a price of 1 Euro. The real payment would be in our collaboration and support. The journal suggested an arrangement similar to the one between ENS and Springer but I refused. Next I contacted Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, at that time a respected neurological journal owned by the Danish publisher Munksgaard. Again I was turned down. These refusals did not diminish my faith in the project, rather strengthened my belief that commercial ownership of scientific journals was antiquated. I decided to create a new journal with 100% ownership to the EFNS. But, again, the EFNS had no money. I contacted some publishers offering the right to publish on behalf of EFNS for a 5 year period and asked what they could offer. The best bid came from Rapid Communications of Oxford, a small and young publishing company. Their representative Anthony Gresford and I agreed that the publisher would cover all cost associated with the new journal yet leaving full ownership to the EFNS. They only requested a 5 year contract after which we would be free to ask for offers from other publishers. Surprise, surprise, we could walk on the water and I am sure that the old journals have regretted their refusal of my first offer. We, on the other hand, were grateful to fully own our journal.

Contract work in place it was still not easy to create a new journal. The next and absolutely crucial issue was to find a capable and willing editor in chief. This job was of course risky and did not pay much given the financial situation of the journal and of the EFNS. Paul Delwaide was suggested and I visited him in his beautiful home in Belgium. He was an experienced editor with a fine track record and showed some interest. However, he later became more uncertain about my project and we agreed that it was better to look elsewhere. Luckily I found not one but two highly competent editors, Francois Boller from Paris and Per Soelberg Sørensen from Copenhagen.

They had the dedication and drive necessary and supplemented each other very well. From there the ball was rolling and it still is. An editorial board was relatively easy to recruit drawing from supporters of the EFNS, for example members of the scientist panels. The publisher proved efficient and kept their promises. Francois and Per did a fantastic job as editors and so did their successors, Matti Hillbom from Oulu and Anthony Schapira from London.

We are not yet at the highest level but we are getting close. I am extremely pleased that the ENS and the EFNS are now fusing, something I tried to achieve three times during my EFNS presidency. It will have many beneficial effects. One of them is that, having selected the European Journal of Neurology as the official journal of the European Academy of Neurology, it may now be possible for the journal to move into the highest stratum of neurological journals

Jes Olesen is Professor of Neurolgoy and was the 2nd President of the EFNS, the Vice President, as well as the Scientific Committee and Liaison Committee Chair for several years. He is also a founding member of the European Brain Council (EBC), and lives in Copenhagen, Denmark.
